BIM 360 DESIGN DEMO
What is BIM
360 design?
BIM 360 DESIGN IS A COMMON DATA PURPOSE-BUILT FOR AEC, ONLY BIM 360
ENVIRONMENT FOR CLOUD-BASED DESIGN SUPPORTS BIM-BASED REAL-
WORK-SHARING ON THE BIM 360 TIME CO-AUTHORING IN REVIT.
PLATFORM
What is BIM 360
design used for?
Cloud based Building Information Modelling
software for architects, landscape architects,
structural engineers, mechanical, electrical,
and plumbing (MEP) engineers, designers
and contractors.
Advantages-Increased
Collaboration

BIM 360 design ensures increased

collaboration between different teams
representing different disciplines e.g.,
Architectural Team, Structural Team,
Mechanical Team, Electrical and Plumbing
Teams.
Advantages-
Document
Management BIM 360 design helps in document
management in the form of team
folder management, package sharing,
and granting of folder permissions.
Advantages-Remote
Collaboration

This involves members of the same

team/discipline working on a single file from
different locations or members of different
teams collaborating to avoid design clashes,
all from different and remote locations
Advantages of
Using BIM 360
Design-Access
Control

Members in a Project could be

granted different levels of access to
the project e.g., Project Admin,
Insight, Document Management,
Design Collaboration
Advantages -Issues and Markups

Issues and Markups could be

generated online at the design
stage.
This ensures no physical pen and
paper comments, and the trails are
kept online
Advantages-Transmittals
• Transmittals
• This is the formal method of submitting
the final documents.

• The documents are submitted from

cloud to emails. Records of transmittals
are visible online.

• Messages could be written along with

transmittals
 This involves cloud submission of design
for review
Reviews are done by nominated project
members
Reviews and
The reviewer gets an email to review
Approval of
Design A decision on review is made by the
reviewer
Records of activities are visible online
Advantages-Digital
Cloud Storage
• All your documents are stored in cloud-
You do not need any physical transfer of
designs which may be prone to virus
attacks or loss due to hardware
misplacement.

• All designs can also be viewed directly in

cloud
 • Uninformed clients could be carried
along through 3D views-instead of
the normal 2D on traditional designs
• No need to purchase new software
• 3D walkthrough is possible
Advantages-Client • Client can check designs from any
Engagement part of the world
• Client can compare previous design
to most recent design
Advantages-Change
Visualisation • This allows you to view and analyze changes made by
other disciplines since last update
Advantages-Clash
• With shared file direct linking, you can link your local
Revit model to models of other teams (Structural,
Mechanical Electrical) in BIM 360 Design, to check for

Detection clashing elements. For example, Columns passing

through living room space, MEP members passing
through door space.
Advantages-
Rework Cost
Eliminated
